Theory: The Clone X was not Cody like some people think or even Fives (I know he's been dead for a very long time but so was Boba Fett and look where we are. Plus, Echo was supposed to be certainly dead too; making him Winter Soldier-esque storyline wouldn't be that surprising) or not even Slick.

((Also, now that we've seen his face devoid of any tattoos or scars I think first two takes are definitely not applicable anymore; they wouldn't put that much effort to make him unrecognizable))

Back to the point: In my opinion, The Clone X was none other than...

Fox.

Now let me explain.

Who else, other than X, was loyal to the law and justice dictated by it over any moral or ethic code?

Fox.

Who else was portrayed with such single-minded focus on hunting down traitors of the government he served, regardless of what it was?

Fox.

Who else could know not only Coruscant so well but also identify Rex like they knew each other?

He already was a remarkably successful tracker of traitors, why not make him more efficient by pointing them out for him?

Good soldiers follow orders, after all.

#clone assassin #commander fox #star wars tbb #i know that hes got killed really early after Order in comics but i would honestly prefer him to die this way #the bad batch spoilers #tbb #cc 2224 #commander cody #arc trooper fives #ct 5555 #tcw slick #cc 1010 #star wars #sw tbb #sw the bad batch #the bad batch season 3 #tbb theory #we dont even know for sure how fox looks like cause in one moment we see corries without helmets all of them have standard paintjob #there are 3 clones behind fox when hes shown and then the one taking off his helmet stands beside 2 others so it may actualy be it???#my point is: outside of one page incomic that can be at any point made noncanon or recontextualized theres no evidence that it cant be him #they already retconed more important things. why not this?#and as rogue said in coments X is a 10 in roman numerals so...#i think its likely that in case im right we can assume that all named corries were made into CloneX #none of them appeared yet despite how much of action happens on coruscant #and only thorn died on screen; in a way preventing him from being viable option nonetheless #three hits point blank months before Order seem unlikely but theyve done weirder things so him returning wouldnt be THAT weird so uhh idk #but yeah cx-02 is tech #winter soldiering doesnt stop #i mean THIS could be fox/other corrie but it being tech is way too cliche oportunity to waste it on them (derogatory towards disney)#pls disney let corries hunt down traitors like they used to pls

3l!grian is frequently depicted as a tragic figure and sometimes i wonder if we even watched the same series

#like yes he is tragic. every character in the series is tragic but i think hes easily the least tragic of the winners #(except maybe cleo. i have my own thoughts about how cleos victory plays into her core themes and why its not as joyous or triumphant as #cleo the players and the fandom at large make it seem that i will have to make a real post about at some point)#grian dies Laughing. he smiles and calls it a dual victory before the final fight. his last words are “its been amazing.”#to me Grians arc is about how he came in with this sense of mirth. had it ripled away by the reality when his joke gets Scar killed.#and then rediscovers it as he learns that the horror of their circumstances doesn't need to keep him from delight #plus also ive never seen a man more delighted to explode three of his friends #ill also bring up that Martyns lore has Grian involved in the games explicitly to COMBAT the angst #that Grians inherent silliness and joy makes the players less hopeless as they meet their endings #and theres obviously parts of martyns lore i can take or leave but this is one area where Eyes and Ears lines up very well with what actions #the characters take and so im happy to bring it up #unlike other parts such as “limlife pearl and cleo retained more trauma between seasons than any player has before”#which i do directly refute as it doesn't seem to line up with the way the characters act and the story plays out #thats for another post though #my point here is 3l grian was having the time of his life and i think there are some fanon interpretationd that disregard that #which theyre free to do im definitely someone who has ignored canon plenty of times in the past (glances at worm)#but i think this is the sort of thing that makes the canon more interesting and compelling #anyway. um. rambled longer than i meant to there #grian #trafficblr #3rd life #3rd life smp #3lsmp

I started watching Mad Men in 2011 and the fact that I still think/talk about it almost every day is so crazy to me like obviously it hasn't been consistent since the very first day I watched it and even this blog which I started in 2016 has had dry years but idk nothing except a few special books really make me keep coming back to the well digging around for details and wanting to talk about the plots and characters. There are other TV shows I love and even rewatch more but they're ultimately not the same. I won't turn on Mad Men for background noise or comfort but lately when I do that with other shows I barely watch an episode or two before I feel kind of bored knowing what's going to happen and I COULD watch every episode of MM with rapt attention and go insane every time

#I'm at the point lately too where I'm like I just don't think anything (on tv) is ever going to hit like this again. it seems unlikely #which I think for me is partially a function of getting older and just not having 'TV' as a hobby the same way I used to #ugh unfortunately especially with things I want to watch but that are already finished so I would have to binge them #the binge of 5 or 6 seasons feels too daunting these days. and if you watch it at a regular pace that's what...a year of watching it???#idk what this post is about

honestly, i think if 911 wants buck and/or eddie to have a compelling serious love interest at this point, one of them can't be on the show anymore (i am not saying i want this. i am just thinking about their dynamics.) they both fill the partner role for the other so well that no LI is compelling, they already have their person. like, even if the actress is great and the character is great, i think it'd be extremely difficult to make them so great we see them as viable long-term.

#this is just me thinking bc s7 is coming up and i was talkin to annie about this kinda earlier #like idk it just seems incredibly unlikely that a i will truly love someone introduced as either one's LI #911 #911 spec #911 s7 #911 season 7 #buddie #kinda #evan buckley #eddie diaz

1# The Plight Before Christmas

This is not a surprise, I literally made a post back then in September-October when I first saw this episode. So I'm not going to elaborate as much as with others, also the thing that make this episode so special not something that I myself fully get, words elude me with this one. So let’s say I love it just because.

I think whe all know and love this scene, this moment when Tina reach to Louise when no one else could cause this is their big sister, and many can say that she don’t get most things but she get her siblings and she’s gonna be with them even if Louise said is not necessary even if they don't mention it, cause she wants to be there with them cause is important. All this while the most beautiful song interpreted by Genie Beanie plays in the back, wrapping everything together, cause yeah even if is mostly Tina and Louise, Gene is there, always there. They are the Belcher kids, the best siblings in the world.

And by the way I want a standing ovation for mah baby bean, cause they save that night for everyone in that auditorium. He is a real musical genius, he can think outside the box and find solutions and his heart is full of music, music that they know and understand despite what everyone says. when Bob look at Gene while they play, like he’s the most amazing person he has ever seen, is cause he is.

This episode is full of quite moments, silent and intimate moments that convey such strong warming and familiar emotions. Is a hug for the heart, like the serie itself.

And I don't want to forget Bob and Linda, they're just the greatest parents in the world, no one is doing it like them.

I truly love this episode deeply. This is the one that got me crying every time.

I'm actually very in favor of Will initiating the confession and kiss bc of the fact that Mike has initiated literally every byler moment.

#byler #let will initiate some too #like he doesn't need to be passive #also like this season we've seen mike in a more subdued and passive role #like he responds so unlike himself #i want to say he seems almost numb?#so i do think there's a chance of will initiating some sweet moments #it would also fit the role reversal

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off - Small Changes

So, naturally, a lot of focus has been on the big overall narrative changes. Pretty obvious that the focus would all be on the big 'oh what' moments from Ep 1, and then 6-8. But there are a ton of smaller focus shifts that matter.

Not planning to focus on the Spoilers but they might show up.

Wallace Wells

You might think this is where I say 'he's meaner' or 'he's more of an asshole' and you'd be wrong. He's simply less kind. Or, more accurately, his kindness just isn't in focus or shown off. See, in the books you get a lot of him being an asshole. Making out with Stacie's boyfriends and two timing... everyone not named Mobile. But you also get him being viscerally angry at Envy over what she did to Scott. He calls Scott out, but does like having Scott around. We get a little of that Wallace in ep 7, but mostly? We get cruelty without the counterbalance. It does change how he reads.

Knives Chau (17 years old)

So the film and books her 'Scott is not her life' moments are off screen. Takes off did them on screen, so we get a lot more of who Knives is without Scott in her mind. That her love of music is deeper than just 'she cares about Scott' or 'she actually listens to Stephen's lyrics' (that's from the beach episode when Julie is being awful). Where the Wallace change made him somewhat worse, this change made Knives worlds better.

Ramona Flowers

This isn't about the plot focus, that's a big change. I care about just a thing in Ep 1 (and a little of Ep 3). In the movies Ramona is aloof, better than, and distant to the idea of dating Scott. In the books she's more directly antagonistic of Scott, his hobbies, and who he is. Ramona in this version more directly shows her interest over him being a charming idiot and seems completely in for his nerdy gaming and comics things. Even if she doesn't know anything about Sonic the Hedgehog. This change is very subtle, but cements the rest of the show.

Scott Pilgrim

Scotty, of course, is a little different too. He's still dating Knives, but there's less interest in his reasoning. Wallace still calls Knives Scott's 'fake high school girlfriend' and Scott doesn't claim to be dating her, just 'sort of' dating her. It also doesn't give him any slack for not breaking up with her when he should. But makes clear his intentions are more or less being a dumbass, not taking advantage. The other change, of course, omitting most of Scott's past. If you know the books, you know this stuff to explain why he's bad at things™. But without that information his being a dumbass manchild is just left there for us to weigh without context. This omission isn't bad, exactly, it simply is. He still works as a main love interest, he's still charming enough to believe Ramona would love him. But it does remove some of this depth, the cost to add depth to... everyone else.

The others don't have small changes, not to the degree of those four. Young Neil is more of an idiot than the books. Kim's less complicated without exploring her history. Those things. But they aren't as worth discussing.

I also wouldn't call the changes to the exes small. They're pretty large changes. But if you think I should talk about some of them I can.

#scott pilgrim takes off #scott pilgrim #ramona flowers #knives chau #wallace wells #as much as I want to say SPTO wallace is perfect #he is kind of a terrible friend in every way #without a lot of headcanon to salve it #I like the 'he did Envy dirty to avenge Scott' but it isn't in the anime #Gideon (or Gordon) falls squarely into 'cool motive still murder'#I do hope for a Season 2 even if that currently seems unlikely #as there is a lot more to explore

YET ANOTHER long and obnoxious stream of my thoughts while watching greys anatomy for the first time (S19 bc i’m finally caught up, babey!!!! (phew))

-i hope this new class of residents isn’t as one dimensional as the last one

-“you say please to bhokee!” hell yeah you do schmitt. (i love that she did say please he was just so ready to jump down her throat about it lmoa)

-DEREK’S NEPHEW ?????!!! WHICH SISTER? my money is on nancy bc i always thought she was the oldest so she would have the son old enough to be out of med school

-okay i’m too curious (for some reason i’ve always just been curious about the shepherds) so i’ve gone back to S15E21 (good shepherd) to see if i could get a better look at nancy’s wall of family photos. i see one of nancy with a young curly haired girl, kathleen with a light haired child, and two photos that are just groups of kids. my assumption is that these two are all of nancy’s kids because if she had photos of her nieces and nephews i feel like they would include their parents. both photos show two boys and two girls. it looks like the same four kids just at two different ages. the oldest (or at least the tallest) in both photos is a boy with dark hair. this may support my theory that nancy is lucas’s mother. the rest of the photos aren’t very clear. the only thing is that all of the kids look very fair and lucas is not. they also clearly wrote this episode way after they shot the scene with amelia looking at the photos so they may have not even bothered with details that were meant to be sort of irrelevant at the time.

-okay this is a very tragic story with (griffin??? griffith??) and makes her lateness and weirdness understandable but am i the only one who thinks it’s insanely bizarre to be sharing your tragic life story to your superior on your first day?

-idk about this season yet. i feel them trying to sort of mirror season one in some ways, focusing more on the interns (which i think i like), trying to connect back to old characters, but it feels a *little* forced so far

-i like mean and snappy teddy

-have we ever seen this library before?

-“i tried to implement similar changes at various times and was always met with resistance” ???? when did bailey try to implement those changes to the residency program? she implemented changes but they for sure weren’t these ones

-why is it better for them to think he’s sleeping with her????? jfc lucas

-ADDISON LOOKS SO HOT. i like this costuming for her. very reminiscent of her private practice wardrobe

-i really like baileys braids this season btw. and i like that she has a special scrub cap that can cover them all

-lucas’s dad is from barbados. idk what to do with that but it is another clue lmao. if nothing else, i’m hooked on this season just to find out who his mother is

-no comment on the dancing

-helm looks really cute as a bartender

-owen when teddy isn’t super happy and content with him after he fucked them over and put their children’s well-beings at risk: 😯

-addison and tom should have met

-oh my god just tell them you’re a nepo baby!! they think you’re fucking your aunt!

-it made complete sense to bring addison back for this storyline. i hope they explore it a little more and keep bringing her back.

-i’m so confused about lucas’s whole complex. wouldn’t he have grown up with his dad’s last name anyway? why has this been an issue “all his life”??? and until he went to med school i doubt anybody even knew the significance of him being a shepherd

-what planet is owen living on where he thinks they would let him be chief again rn

-i can see myself shipping mike chang and mary queen of scots once they develop their characters a bit more. simone and lucas i like in theory but idk about the chemistry

-“i am not going to beg you to love me” good meredith bc that didn’t work out so well the first time u did it

-intern house is back!!! i really like that actually

-a full time administrative assistant is completely reasonable. richard had patricia when he was chief

-looking very hot for having just been hit by a car

-winston definitely had a point at first but at this point he’s pissing me off. it’s reminding me of that big meredith and cristina fight in the sense that it feels like he’s deliberately taking everything she’s doing and saying in the worst possible way.

-richard and addison’s dynamic is so underrated

-this is incredibly random but it just popped into my head. it’s so weird that amelia has never brought up her friend michelle on greys. you know, her friend from pp that committed suicide bc she had huntingtons which ultimately kickstarted amelia’s relapse. i feel like it could have been relevant to a few cases

-pru is so fucking cute

-so many people keep leaving i don’t really have a reaction to it anymore. but i will very much miss maggie. ik a lot of people don’t like maggie (prob bc they thought she was trying to fill the spaces that lexi and cristina left behind) but i really liked her. i think i found her very relatable in a lot of ways. even/especially when she was a little annoying lol

-why is this guy specifically requesting bailey? (not that she’s not great at her job it just has suspicious vibes) is he one of the anti choice harassers? nervous for that especially since addison is here so i feel like it will be about that storyline

-jesus christ i knew it. bc it’s so “pro life” to threaten a child!!!!!! go kwan though. and teddy!

-JUJU!!!

-yasuda x helm <3

-cristina mention !!!!

-i really like that there’s no intern/attending relationships lately

-i’m doubling down on thinking lucas is nancy’s bc i think if he has adhd, kathleen likely would have noticed bc she’s a psychologist. obviously it’s possible she wouldn’t have, everyone has blind spots but i think this makes the most sense still. and ik he could still be liz’s but i’m still unsure on if the ages work out and i think they were banking on which actress would be more likely to make an appearance later on and neve campbell is less likely to come back than the others.

-uggh why do i HATE simone’s wedding dress.

-omg i’m a terrible person i didn’t realize it was her late mother’s. i’m so sorry the fit of it just looks off

-i wonder how they’re going to ruin/derail this wedding? they’ve already done leaving at the altar, objections, elopements. maybe the twist is that she actually goes through with it?? or they’ll just be boring and so the same thing they’ve done before

-i like that they still call it “joe’s” even though we never see joe anymore

-winston is getting on my nerves. he always starts off having a point and then he gets all immature and petty about it

-dude that is not how a DNR works

-aww yay for bailey

-side note amelia looks great

-TEDDY!!!

#greys anatomy #you guys this was a lot but i did it #i didn’t watch the latest ep of season 20 but other than that i’m all caught up #i’d like to thank my agoraphobia and my unemployment for making it possible for me to have watched this much television #on my knees praying to any deity that addison shows up in s20 but it seems unlikely #i don’t even like the shoe anymore i just don’t want to give up now lmao #meredith grey #teddy altman #addison montgomery #amelia shepherd #these are all tagged under #greys reactions

Watching Love Death and Robots S2 (yes yes like three years late) and deeply unfortunate that what's aesthetically easily the best vignette so far has politics so bad they're actually offputting.

#television #somewhat unfourtunate that the show seems unlikely to ever again touch the heights of season one episode one tbh

it would be so hot actually if we got lady AND lord whistledown

#colin also writing for whistledown... them doing that together... it just scratches an itch in my brain #idk how they'd do that #but i like thinking about it #it seems unlikely to me that pen actually gets revealed as lw at the end of this season #like there's nowhere else to go then?#but it would be sus if pen got married and suddenly there's a lord whistledown byE #idk idk im so excited to see where they'll go in part 2

I know ultimate sacrifice is dying in fight for what matters the most and in 100% cases it was reversed by kissing headcanon is strong, but what if your existence was erased from the universe and only I remember about you now instead, huh?

#the fact that 100% cases is a one game is irrelevant #so far rule was simple: hedgehog has to be kissed to be deadn't #sonic the hedgehog #sonic prime season 3 #shadow the hedgehog #i know that making potentialy at least several episodes if not a whole season without titular character is unlikely but what if?#it seems to be year of Shadow so its more likely than ever #sonadow #the “i heart you too”/“you must hate having to admit you need me” callback potential is too good #its not even as much about shipping as hoping for it to be meanigful in any way #i just want it to be more than everyone being sad and constantly saying how amazing he was and how they miss him #& brooding shadow grudgingly working with nine/anyone else because they forced him to and them winning because of power of friendship #and shoving a chaos emerald up sonics ass and everything going back to how it was #i want character development for shadow too damn it!#i want him to make some sort of a sacrifice too #i want him to fight for it. i want him to struggle without sonic. i want him to regret. i want him to go trough 5 stages of grief.#i! want! him! to! FEEL!!!#and what i DEFINITELY dont want is '06v2 #which potentialy can be the case but with “everything is back to normal as if it never happened but i remember Everything” instead #(hopefuly cause if theyre gonna retcon themseves again i swear im gonna give birth of cacti out of my ass)#sonic prime #sonic prime s3 #sth #in this concept sonic goes away somewhere in the first episode/somewhere early in s3 btw #and other ppl will remember sonic in some way at some point or at least help shadow cause lets be honest he needs all the help he can get #but make it gradual and more like a snyder sized movie than a tvshow

The thing about Charles that most enrages me, vis-à-vis his plotlines and development, is that his crimes and his punishments are mostly entirely disconnected. He gets comeuppances all the time, but only occasionally are they a consequence of him being Bad, as opposed to just being annoying—or, sometimes, just being an easy target. And then sometimes he does or says something utterly heinous and the narrative gives him nothing but a slap on the wrist. Hawkeye and BJ (and sometimes the entire camp!) will torment him for minor, petty things, like destroying his French horn because he was bad at playing it. But the things he said to Margaret in the supply room in Mail Call Three were so vile that the scene is usually cut from syndicated airings. And what does he get for it? She jabs him with an elbow and pushes him out of the room and then nothing bad happens to him for the entire rest of the episode.

I have a whole half-written essay on the utterly nonsensical way Charles’ bigotry is portrayed on the show—the way it had to be portrayed, really, in order to make the character function—but this is the single worst result of that whole mess, to me. Because this mismatch between actions and consequences affects all the other characters, too. If Hawkeye, and by extension the narrative itself, gets angrier at Charles for snoring than for yelling about keeping his family’s bloodline pure (not to mention being racist against Max—you know, Hawkeye’s supposed fucking friend?), then that says something about both the protagonist and the show. Something extremely unflattering, to put it lightly.

#but then again everyone is racist to Max in late seasons so I guess we're not supposed to care :))))))))))))))))#Charles Emerson Winchester III #MASH #MASH TV #Disclaimers: Obviously I neither need nor expect a didactic 1-to-1 karmic correspondence from these plots.#But it's so annoying that late seasons are called preachy when they seem to mostly lack any moral backbone at all #at least on every issue except feminism. (Thank you Ms. Alan ''Honorary Woman'' Alda!! <3)#Also not to say there was said karmic correspondence with Frank either exactly; but it wasn't important that there be one #because Frank was constantly awful so he was constantly dunked on. A strawman punching bag to hit as much as you like.#Charles gets punched all the time but it never feels like our hero Super-Hawkeye standing up to a bully. Even though it SHOULD.#Sometimes in spite of Charles' myriad privileges #it feels like Hawkeye et al. are punching DOWN.#Which they are NOT! And YET!#Starky's Original Posts #Starky's text posts #unlike those other posts which were filthy woobification THIS post is hashtag Charles Critical #so it can go in the main tag

new to the spader fandom so idk if this is “controversial” or not but I want him to be in another movie or two before he maybe calls acting quits for good…… I like his tv stuff duh but he’s a movie guy to me

Haha I don’t think that’s controversial at all, I also really hope he does a couple more films before “retiring.” I don’t see him doing another TV show (unless it’s like, a guest spot like The Office) but why not movies!! Whether he needs the money lol or there’s a project that comes along that he’s genuinely interested in (a director he likes or a certain role), I don’t *think* The Blacklist was his final role but I also wouldn’t be shocked if it was. I’d be disappointed though 🥲

#he’s also almost normal person retirement age and he seems like someone who would take full advantage of that lmao. our little retiree…..#if I didn’t ever have to work again I would not. so thrilled for him! but I’d miss him :(#NEED Spielberg to call him again he can’t say no to Spielberg right! get Paul Thomas Anderson on the phone! cast him in the next Cronenberg!#ask #anonymous #my dreammmm would be him doing another play on Broadway so I could see him 🥺👉👈 but that’s also very unlikely I fear #my other dream would be seeing him on a season of White Lotus 😛😛😛

God it's so strange having a show I like that actually has regular and consistent output, after so many fandoms with years between seasons/series.

Venture Bros: get rekt

Sherlock: Fuck the fans

Marvel: lol wtf is an output schedule? Fans are replaceable anyway

Meanwhile Taskmaster over here giving us two series per year, plus a yearly special, plus another special every five series (ish, scheduling depending). It's nice to be fed and happy for a change.

#taskmaster #admittedly with the venture bros the scheduling was largely the fault of adult swim from what i've gathered #and tbh the art getting better and better with every season always made the wait well worth it #cannot wait to watch the movie on thursday #and with marvel they have a problem with oversaturating the market with so many of their millions of properties #that the one specific title you're following gets sidelined and doesn't have another issue come out for six months for no fucking reason #idek what's going on with the D+ series anymore because I dropped that shit ages ago #i'll just pirate it if anything I'm even remotely interested comes out ever again #which after loki seems unlikely tbh #because the thor franchise has been thoroughly fucked by the studio anyway and i've given up on it ever being good again but whatever #and sherlock #fuck sherlock in its entirety #it knows what it did
